Boxed Lomography Belair X6-12 City Slicker |
Here are my first impressions of using the City Slicker with the 58mm wide angle lens;
- It is delivered in a nice cardboard package with the body, 2 lenses (58mm and 90mm) and matching viewfinders.
- The viewfinder is very approximate, particularly at less than 5m focus range.
- The 58mm lens is really soft at f8. As you would expect it gets a bit better at the f16 setting.
- Focus fall off from the centre is quite severe on the 6x12 format (this lens would be better with the 6x6 and perhaps 6x9 formats)
- There is a stop or two of exposure falloff from the image centre to the edges (for that lomo vignette effect)

However even with its flaws, all in all it is a very light & fun medium format camera.
